Five Equations That Changed the World: The Power and Poetry of Mathematics Paperback - 1996
by Michael Guillen
As a regular contributor to daytime's most popular morning news show and an instructor at Harvard University, Dr. Michael Guillen unravels the equations that have led to the inventions and events that characterize the modern world. The stories behind Five Equations That Changed the World are not only chronicles of science, but also gripping dramas of jealousy, fame, war, and discovery.
First line
For the last several months, thirteen-year-old Isaac Newton had been watching with curiosity while workmen built a windmill just outside the town of Grantham.
